Colorado Parks and Wildlife is doing its part to thank active military members and veterans this August by giving them free admission to every state park.

In order to get the pass, veterans and servicemen and women just show their proof of military service at any state park office. In turn, they’ll get a hang tag that will get their vehicle into any park they want.
